Useless Antminer D3 Cryptocurrency Miner, just 4 Years old - 1120

[@joshhastieYT]

Hello Morten, a short but interesting video. Though it is old and may not be useful as a miner you could perhaps make some other videos on the miner? Firmware upgrade? Open it up to see what it looks like inside?

[@daskasspatzle2396]

Yes, we want to look under the hood ;-)

[@MyPlayHouse]

I did that with this one,, kzbin.info/www/bejne/pp29gqmHeMmce6M It's about the same.

[@rschrader]

You should plant 40-50 solar panels in your backyard garden Morten. They could find your new KZbin channel - MyCryptoPlayhouse

[@MyPlayHouse]

I wish I had some land for that,, I would like to.

[@dwaynehallows3273]

are you able to run the Miner on solar panels that you have

[@jamess1787]

Not for long

[@MyPlayHouse]

Yes, when the sun is out... :-)

[@LucioAncora]

i really enjoy marco's videos, i found his channel thanks to you ( iboot bar video if i recall correctly). thanks to both of you for your beautiful entertainment work. Restate sani!

[@MyPlayHouse]

I can see that he makes entertaining and great productions,, I just do not understand Italien :-)

[@MVVblog]

Ciao Luciano , Thank You 😃

[@bertblankenstein3738]

Application Specific Integrated Circuit, ASIC.

[@MyPlayHouse]

Hi Bert Blankenstein Thank You very much! glad you liked the video :-) Thank you for watching! :-)

[@daskasspatzle2396]

You still can heat you room with it. Therefore the "efficency" of the power supply does not even matter ;-) Unless you do not mind the noise, of course...

[@MyPlayHouse]

If the PSU is not efficient, it will just heat more. :-/

[@TKomoski]

What about the Helium Network, I'm sure you heard of that

[@MyPlayHouse]

No,, I am sure it is fun,, what is it ? :-)

[@TKomoski]

@@MyPlayHouse "CHECK IT OUT" !!!

[@Kristjan10a]

In estonia power skyrocketed. Price went up like thre fold. This is crazy.

[@MyPlayHouse]

That is a lot,, but will save a lot of power :-/

[@TradieTrev]

Here in sunny Australia we'll jump onto anything that can make money from the sun!

[@MyPlayHouse]

This is not stupid for that...

[@dwaynehallows3273]

my use electric gone up by £30 Pounds in the Uk

[@gerrybvr]

A bit like Julian Ilett making a few cents a day. It might pay for the equipment in 100 years or so :)

[@MyPlayHouse]

I do not know why the prices is going up...

[@dawn1berlitz]

dang that thing is louder than my server when it boots but once the IDRAC/IMM is fully initialized and shows the dell logo on the screen it quiets down

[@MyPlayHouse]

It is a bit noisy to,, but mostly just expensive to run.

[@dawn1berlitz]

@@MyPlayHouse i bet with that psu on it

[@jameslarson7452]

There’s other ways to check case grounds… not “better” per se. But different.

[@MyPlayHouse]

Well if I got a shock,, it would be entertaining video :-/

[@jmonsted]

It's an electric heater that just happens to be noisier than the usual ones.

[@MyPlayHouse]

a very noisy heater,, that could do some wierd cryptocurrency.

[@SdSnatcher]

@@MyPlayHouse Can be used to test discharge of batteries too.

[@erichankins2634]

hey Morton...its almost time for our birthday again!!

[@MyPlayHouse]

Yes,, Next week,, got the first present today! :-)

[@MrCrownsecurity]

Kan jeg træffe dig online her i DK for er ny I det her mining verden og vil bede om hjælp til det?

[@MyPlayHouse]

HI Mike H. My channel is English, and to make sure as many as possible, can also enjoy the comments, they are also English. Please keep to English. Thank you for watching! :-)

[@bbjunkie]

For a second I wondered "why doesn't he switch it on at the wall" before realising the UK is probably the only country in the world with a on/off switch on their wall sockets 😂

[@digitalsparky]

We have power switches on walls in Australia too :).

[@ScottMckenzie1]

I guess you are now realizing you are probably wrong ... New Zealand also has switches on our power sockets.. who woulda thought :)

[@Ulven3829]

Morten and the rest of Denmark has on/off switches on the wall sockets as well.

[@MyPlayHouse]

There is an on/off,, but I would have to get up :-)

[@digitalsparky]

@@MyPlayHouse gonna have to get some more smart switches :P haha.

[@DIYwithBatteries]

Nice smps and it sounds good actually 😁👍

[@MyPlayHouse]

Hi DIY with Batteries Thank You very much! glad you liked the video :-) Thank you for watching! :-)

[@JohnnieHougaardNielsen]

In principle, you could dive into "creative" use of those ASIC chips, to use their functions for other jobs, if you have a lot of time to burn 😀

[@MyPlayHouse]

I do not,, have that kind of time :-) But if someone else had found something useful to make them do.

[@KyleRollins420]

It will make a good but expensive and loud space heater this winter… 😂

[@Eo_Tunun]

This device has more value when applied in the ultra low energy mode: Used as sophisticated paper weight or door stopper. ^^)

[@jerryscheer1293]

It is perfect to heat your house.

[@MyPlayHouse]

Electric heater with a kickback :-)

[@digitalsparky]

Did you know that the vast majority of crypto mining has dropped off significantly due to China banning both crypto and also huge electricitiy shortages there. Looks like the antminer is running linux, perhaps you could ssh into it and see if you can also use it for something else? :) (no doubt the linux system is just the management interface, would be great to come up with beneficial reuse as opposed to e-waste.

[@joshuabest100]

Not really crypto pricing has sky rocketed since then its now at its all time high

[@MyPlayHouse]

I need someone way smarter than me, to lead the way on using this for something better.

[@joshuabest100]

@@MyPlayHouse I think if you look hard enough software is out there to convert these to something you can mine on with profit

[@SdSnatcher]

The controller use to be an arm based minicomputer like a router or a raspberry pi, you can install for example openwrt, but only to use the controller, the rest (asic) is useless.

[@johnbeaudette583]

@@joshuabest100 I think he is referring to mining profitability dropping off. I went from 150 dollars a month to 50 a month on a 2060 ko. My gaming PC Idle vs mining is only 60 watts difference and cost about 4 dollars a month to mine 24/7 when hooked up to the grid. Still more than profitable. This antminer D3 should use about 3 dollars a day in electricity. Figured @ 10 cents per KWH. It cannot mine more than 3ish dollars per day of any crypto ? It was free and Morten has solar as well to reduce the electricity cost. I would think the D3 would be profitable.

Yo time in Latvia 21:58 pm

Hi The f1 Thank You very much! glad you liked the video :-) Thank you for watching! :-)
